In the 3rd and final part of the Jeff Buckley story we take a close look at the last year of Jeff's life as he relocates to Memphis for a fresh start away from the hustle and bustle of New York City as he battles with fame and his demanding record labels, who are hoping to squeeze Grace 2.0 out of him. We then learn of the lead up and details surrounding Jeff's tragic death at the hands of the Mississippi River, we analyse the posthumous album "Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk" and the legacy he left behind, led by his mother Mary and his close friends and band mates. As we celebrate the life and music of this once in a generational talent that was simply taken way too soon at just the age of 30.
